Religion was the first to be used as a weapon to steal the lands of Native American Indians, Australian Aborigines and New Zealand indigenous Maoris, not to speak of countless Pacific Islanders also falling into the same trap. Opium was used to drug the Chinese to make them weak, hoping to take over China like North America. Even money, the root of all evil, becomes a weapon for sanctioning. Holy shit, even tariffs is now being used as an economic weapon to target everyone to make them succumb to USA Rules Based Order.
But that is backfiring. Why is everyone still asking about ships carrying goods bypassing USA ports? Just for fun or laughter? No, the world is finding new channels for trade, as there is a bigger world besides the USA to trade with.
As an example, Trump's 50% tariffs on Brazilian coffee does not kill Brazil's coffee industry. China is the biggest beneficiary of Trump's move, with almost immediate move into the Brazilian coffee export industry with deals made fast and furious. These are deals for the long term and Brazilian coffee beans are not going to the USA any time soon. Who suffers from the tariffs? USA roasters are being crippled as Brazilian coffee is the mainstay of USA coffee chains.
Trump's tariff war is just like a blind man throwing darts not knowing where it will land. So many of Trump's tariffs are hitting at USA businesses like bolts of lightning, with no avenues to avoid disaster. What businesses that goes to China is not ever going to go back to the USA. That is a fact, and Trump is making it happen faster than ever. Scott Bessant and Howard Lutnick can carry on their spin, but the reality is there for all to see.

Howard Lutnick lives in another world, the way he tried to spin fiction into reality. This man really has no idea that he is the laughingstock of the whole world, standing shoulder to shoulder with Trump and Scott Bessant. The present-day version of Three Stooges personified.
As with Trump and his other cronies and sycophants, it never ever works for any of them, including that bimbo of a spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt. She and Palki Sharma can enter a contest to find out who can invent lies better to choose the mother of all liars. The Nobel Committee ought to have another prize for the best liar, or the Nobel Liars Prize.
Among all the White House spokespersons in the past, Karoline Leavitt wins hands down for her prolific lies that truly boggles the mind. Nothing surprising for being chosen as Trump's mouthpiece, following in the footsteps of the biggest conman in the USA's White House in history.
